Alamo - partially finished

I have returned from a trip to San Antonio.  I was not able to do as much art as I would like but I took some great photos and had a really great time.  Go to San Antonio if you can, especially in winter.  It was in the 80s every day and beat the snow and cold here in Maryland.   I did get started on this sketch of the Alamo Church and I will finish it tomorrow.

Mountain Goat study

I have seen these near Mt. Evans on the front range of Colorado.  I eventually want to paint some of these climbing studs.

Cezanne Study of Mary Casset

I found this study by Cezanne of the artist Mary Casset.  I really liked the simple lines so I did this as my version, not quite a good as the Master but I wanted to use it as practice.  Simple and elegant, great practice and something to think about when I get more time to work on figure studies.

Pronghorn Study

Another of the western animals from the plains and high mountain parks done with chalks.

Side Elk Snout study

I have a plan to paint some elk so it's study time.

Dall Sheep study

More of the chalk work, this is a front view of a Dall Sheep.

Dall Sheep profile study

More of the chalk sketching.  This is a male Dall Sheep.  These are the wild sheep of the Canadian Rockies and Alaskan mountain ranges.  The white fur definitely blends in with the snowy mountain sides.
